A compact fusion machine just hit gigapascal pressures

Zap Energy has reached a major milestone with its Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, known as FuZE-3. The device has generated plasmas with electron pressures up to 830 megapascals (MPa), or a total pressure of 1.6 gigapascals (GPa), a level similar to the intense conditions found deep beneath Earth’s…
